I was watching this movie not too long ago.. Obviously it's one of those Airport disaster scenarios again..
Well, this one has an all star cast.. Well, most of them. After the plane takes off from London, in the air.. disaster strikes when a lightning bolt hits the front of the plane, killing two the pilots.
So, with no-one in the cockpit.. The question is.. who is going to fly the plane? Well, in this film.. It relied on Kate Jackson who plays one of the stiff upper lip air stewardess, who tries to keep the situation under control. Ed Marinaro, who's some kind of a wanted fugitive.. who's also caught up with the drama. Billy Warlock and Brandy Ledford who are also stewards on the plane backing up Kate Jackson's character..
With other names like Robert Guillaume and Erik Estrada (who I remember him from the TV series 'CHIPS') plays as this hot shot actor who's also getting airsick on the flight.
I must admit, the movie is worth watching.. But I want don't believe is.. how can a jumbo jet carry so much fuel if the plane is to fly a full 16 hours in the air? That's impossible..!
Anyway, it's all fiction. But at the end of the day.. the passengers did land safely. I was hoping for more suspense an a few more deaths.. But all in all, this was nothing really..
Enjoyable hokum.. 5 out of 10!
